Pennsylvania Love- refreshed for the journey

I want to eat this
To touch a purple flower
The juice of fresh lemons
A grass quilt of three leaf clovers and pinecones
The confident stroll of a skunk family-
Ownership swinging from each tail
Forgotten trees huddle like tribes in the forest
Tongues lick plump raindrops,
While birds rebuild their nests
Limbs of Pennsylvania tangled in farms, tree canopies and creeks
Christie and the family back together
My father's garden


My soul, my soul-
Clings to the clouds
Steals glances at the stars
Burns eternally like the sun
A hammock amongst oak
Shadowing my every step
Being one step at a time
Creating the steps of my existence
Death- rebirth, a torch that burns on
A shoestring double knotted and then untied
The desire to express itself
In rhythm with a sprinkler-
The sounds of the sea
There’s love in the water,
Droplets of glue
Puzzles put together, beautiful and anew
Closets to cling to memories
Pockets full of earth
One holy sip-
The songs of the cicadas
Droplets of delight
A taste of magic to cradle the soul
